These spicy shrimp burgers are bursting with flavor thanks to a touch of flavor-packed Old Bay Seasoning. Adding Old Bay, lemon juice, and fresh garlic to plain mayonnaise transforms it into a punchy spread that pairs perfectly with the savory shrimp burgers and slightly sweet potato rolls. Pulsing the shrimp in the food processor helps to break down most of the shrimp, while leaving some larger pieces intact. Be sure to let the burgers rest for at least 10 minutes in the fridge to ensure they hold together while cooking.
